The following is based on information from Fallout Shelter or Fallout Shelter Online. |
Dwellers sent to explore the wasteland may find locations to explore as random encounters. When they do find a location, an icon appears in the upper-left corner of the screen. Tapping it allows the player to order the dweller to explore or ignore the location. Exploring it opens a small side-exploration area where the player directly commands the dweller, and a quest objective in exploring the area is given. A dweller's chance to find a random encounter while in the wasteland is increased by their Perception.
Random encounters will only trigger once the overseer's office is built.

Notes[]
- The enemies found in certain random encounters could vary, as not all of them are static encounters.
- During A Cry for Help, the player has no choice but to let the dweller join the vault. If the vault is full, the dweller will wait at the entrance until room is made, or another dweller is evicted.
- No legendary dwellers can be found in random encounters.
- The Crossing Paths random encounter is arguably the most difficult to complete without your dweller dying, as the player is faced three-on-one by deathclaws, one of which being an alpha deathclaw. Due to the difficulty of this random encounter, it gives the best reward item of any of the encounters (a Mr. Handy).
